ACM NOMINATED COUNTRY STAR KANE BROWN SETS GUINNESS WORLD RECORD

Brown Becomes Title Holder for First Act to
Top Five U.S. Country Charts Simultaneously

Breakthrough country music singer and songwriter Kane Brown sang his way into history, setting the Guinness World Records title for the First act to top five U.S. country charts simultaneously.

Kane talks about how it feels to be a Guinness World Record Holder:

“It feels awesome to be in the Guiness Worlds Records just because I remember being in elementary school and middle school and just going thru and looking at all the books.  So, that was probably one of my favorite things.  So it just feels awesome.”

To make it official, Kane was presented with his record certificate at the Sony Music Nashville office in Nashville, Tennessee.

Kane talks about the moment he was presented with the Guinness World Record:

“I came to Sony.  We were just talking about my album going platinum and we were just excited about it.  And, then they pulled out that I had the 5 charts at number one.  Um, I didn’t even know it was a thing at the time. So it was just awesome to be the first artist to do it.”

On October 28, 2017, he became the title holder for the First act to top five US country charts simultaneously, including Top Country Albums (Kane Brown Deluxe Edition); Country Digital Song Sales (“Heaven”); and Country Airplay, Hot Country Songs, and Country Streaming Songs (“What Ifs” featuring Lauren Alaina).

When Kane released his self-titled debut in December 2016, it became and remains country’s No. 1 best-selling new-artist album debut since 2014. To date, his album has remained at No.1 on Billboard Top Country Album chart for 8 weeks. And, since its release in December 2016, his debut album has surpassed all country album debuts with the most weeks at No.1; in fact, no other country album has exceeded more than an 8-week run on top of the chart.Gold-certified current single, “Heaven” which reached No.1 for Country Digital Song Sales, is also currently No.1 on Nielsen’s On Demand Audio Core Country Streaming chart for a second week and No.12 on Billboard and Country Aircheck/Mediabase country airplay charts.

The Double-Platinum certified “What Ifs” featuring Lauren Alaina, his friend and former Middle School choir classmate, topped the Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts with an impressive 45.9 million audience impressions. Nearly 11 million US streams brought the popular single to Billboard’s Country Streaming Songs list. 2018’s most-streamed song, “What Ifs” has held #1 for 18 weeks on Nielsen’s On Demand Audio Core Country Streaming chart.

Kane Brown, the new Guinness World Records title holder, is a nominee for the 53rd Academy of Country Music Awards™.  Kane is nominated for ACM New Male Vocalist of the Year and for ACM Vocal Collaboration for “What Ifs” featuring Lauren Alaina for the ACM Awards which broadcast live on April 15 on CBS.
